4/10 Poor

Travelled with partner
27 Apr 2025
The KORE Tulum property is not as advertised.
A list of things that my travel companion and I were heavily displeased with:
1. I was unable to get in contact with either the resort or Expedia when trying to see about the possibility of a shuttle from Tulum airport, or to attempt to book spa treatments or excursions early. Nobody picked up phones and nobody responded to emails either. This forced me to rent a car for the duration of our stay.
2. There is no SPA. Yet, the spa is advertised on the Kore Tulum website. One of the days we were there a woman was offering massages on a chair outside of the spa building which seemed to be condemned.
3. The website advertised 2-3 restaurants, there was only one available. That should be mentioned at booking.
4. There was a swim up bar but we only saw a bartender at the swim up bar ONE time in 5 days.
5. We walked around the resort grounds - KORE seems to be a resort that was nice once, and then something happened - what that something is, we could not tell.
6. The resort is adjacent to the entrance for a national park. During the day the military closes the direct entrance to the hotel and forces all vehicles to use the national park entrance. On two occasions we were told we had to pay the park entrance fee in order to get to our hotel each time.
We complained to the staff at KORE, they came out and assisted then the next time KORE gave us a brown band to deal with that issue.
Something must be done to offset our experience.
